Detailed item information

Synopsis
Scott Smith, author of A SIMPLE PLAN, returns with a stylish and atmospheric horror thriller. Four American tourists in Mexico join up with a German tourist and go looking for the German's missing brother. Soon, the eerie and unsettling elements begin, and the reader's unease crescendos to a palpable terror. Though the setup is completely familiar, Smith writes with such a deft touch that THE RUINS stands head-and-shoulders above most genre writing.

Publisher's Note
In Cancun, Mexico, for a peaceful vacation, a group of tourists sets off in search of one of their group who disappeared during an excursion to some nearby Mayan ruins, only to come face to face with an insidious evil that threatens their very lives. By the author of A Simple Plan. Reprint.

In Cancâun, Mexico, for a peaceful vacation, a group of tourists sets off in search of one of their group who disappeared during an excursion to some nearby Mayan ruins, only to come face to face with an insidious evil that threatens their lives.

Trapped in the Mexican jungle, a group of friends stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine.

Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation–sun-drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site . . . and the terrifying presence that lurks there.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he most disturbing novel of the year....Smith...writes with psychological acuity and real beauty, yet he doesn't pull punches."
(07/24/2006)

"At its heart, THE RUINS is an old-fashioned horror story....Smith has tapped into our anxieties about global warming, lethal weather, supergerms--our collective fear that nature is finally battling back--and given us a decidedly organic nightmare." --rating: A-
